Helen Keller's story is in large part the story of how she acquired language.
She lost her sight and hearing just as she was beginning to speak, and for
the next five years, though
she developed some signs for objects and people around her, she had
no words. She was a being without language living in, yet apart from, a
social world that derived its structures,
meanings, and personal relationships through language. And then,
through seemingly miraculous means, she acquired language and entered
this world.

When Helen Keller died in 1968 at the age of eighty-eight, she was one of
the most widely known women in the world - as she had been since nearly
the age of eight. The young girl, whose Tuscumbia, Alabama, parents
had nearly given up in the early 1880s, when they saw little future for
a deaf-blind girl, had literally and figuratively traveled far.
